in my efforts to keep up with Joneses optmusprimer, my meccican truck has been pimped. since the fuckers peeled the tint off for some unknown reason before i had a chance to pick it up, i guess a trip to TVP is coming up

sounds bad as fuck. holly shit

5/14/2008 10:21:06 PM

geez, what gears to those things have? bogging like hell.

5/15/2008 12:29:11 AM

^^ Good observation, that video shows the problem well. For some reason they seem to have set this thing up in such a way to make powershifting difficult. I suspect it has something to do with the fact it has such bad wheel hop. If you do manage to shift, say 1-2 at redline it wants to grind bad. Thats with the stock shifter, the URD adapter kit, and even with the B&M shifter I have now. Actually the truck feels faster shifting 1000rpm or so before that (in the torque curve) but early shifting does not show off a roots blower all that well.

5/17/2008 4:58:02 AM

i was talking axle gears. what's in them? horribly unmatched...

5/17/2008 5:41:38 AM

Oh, yeah thats a problem too. I suppose you could get a prerunner diff with a truetrac maybe? I dont know if anyone has played with it yet.

5/17/2008 4:27:48 PM

A couple days after that I put my new riding mower in the back, day after that- 2 4x8 plywood sheets and a shitload of 2x4s.

6/15/2008 2:42:35 AM

HMMMM the '09s are out with several signifigant upgrades now standard....

7/5/2008 10:23:18 PM

srt10 or gen II lightning. or 100 shot. quit screwing around.

7/6/2008 3:14:48 AM

Running premium fuel consistantly = 17-19MPG

Switching to midgrade for one tank = 15.2MPG This was a noticable drop in fuel economy before even doing the math, and a very slight drop in performance (for instance, upshifting at 2500 gave more of a lugging feeling than normal) but as far as normal driving it didnt miss a beat.

Between the initial "break in" period, the time it took to get used to a new intake, and this I am led to believe the vvt-i ECU seems a little slow to adapt.

someone figured out how to swap the 3.15s for 3.73s but they cant figure out the speedo

7/19/2008 12:30:53 AM

is there's something more complicated about it than a little plastic gear or a pulse ratio converter?

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 12:56 AM. Reason : or machining the ring gear for the tone ring?]

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 12:56 AM. Reason : dunno how/where they read from]

7/19/2008 12:54:45 AM

the vss is on the output shaft of the trans from what i can see. simple converter box. hell the fag on TRUCKS! could even figure that out.
